Primary care practices' implementation of patient-team partnership: findings from EvidenceNOW Southwest.
The authors reported on practice characteristics associated with greater patient-team partnership scores. Using EvidenceNOW Southwest data, they found that practices can improve efforts to partner with patients to assess social needs, gather meaningful input on practice improvement and patient experience, and offer resource connections. These findings supplement recent evidence that patient registries and evidence-based guidelines may effectively prevent and manage cardiovascular disease.

Improving patient-provider communication and therapeutic practice through better integration of electronic health records in the exam room: a pilot study.
This study assessed the effectiveness of providing physicians who use electronic health records (EHRs) education for communication strategies and its impact on patient outcomes. The evidence-based Physician Asthma Care Education (PACE) program was extended in a pilot program using 18 providers and 126 adult patients with persistent asthma. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3- and 6-month postintervention intervals. Providers who completed the EHR-PACE program felt more confident in communicating with their patients, but there was no significant changes in patient asthma outcomes or their perceptions of their provider’s communication skills.
